"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Subject: FINAL NOTICE ABOUT YOUR SHIPMENT FROM DHL EXPRESS, NEW YORK...........

DHL Worldwide Express
(JFK IAT) Terminal 4, Jamaica,
New York, NY 11430, USA.
Tel: 1 940 618 2911.

Dear Customer,

YOUR SHIPMENT WITH INITIAL WAYBILL NO( 5623168471).

Why haven't you gotten back to us on the provision of the accrued vault fee as previously intimated and directed or do you want us to go ahead and hand over your shipment to the Homeland Security/U.S Customs and Border Protection for confiscation? The reason of making this inquiry again is because the time frame given to you to provide the accumulated vault fee has elapsed and we do not intend to retain your shipment in our vault anymore.

Kindly revert back to us immediately because your parcel/shipment has stayed too long in our vault and our operationg policy stipulates for such parcel/consignments to be handed to the law enforcements agencies for outright confiscation as abandone shipment. This will be our final notice to you as regard your shipment if you fail to comply with the provision of the vault fee this time.

We need prompt response to this inquiry.

Ms. Diane Louise Webb
Operations Manager.
New York, NY 11430, USA.
